I want to thank my parents, and my wife, Electra, and Dimitris Fousekis, and . Sorry, Electra told me that this is not that kind of post. She promised to listen to my speech as soon as I’m done, though, so I’d better wrap this up and return the shampoo bottle (which doubles as award-accepting-ceremony-microphone in our household) to the bathroom.

Before I go, a big thank you to all of you who have taken the time to read and review the book. If you haven’t done so already, now there’s one more reason to read it for free on my blog!

If you leave a comment, not only will Perro the cat chase a mouse on his blanket, but I’ll also keep you up-to-date with my news and send you exclusive short stories as a ‘thank-you’!

“Runaway Smile is an enchanting tale about a young boy who wakes up one morning to discover that his smile has fled. In his search for his fugitive smile, he encounters many characters whom he discovers have only false smiles. How can he recover his smile? Humorously written and illustrated, this book is great for reading to younger children, or for children who are not yet up to the task of reading chapter books. (Many adults will also find it highly entertaining!)” Quoted from Amazon Reviews. Congratulations Nicholas Rossis!

I am proud to share this awesome news about a fellow RRBC member and great author – Nicholas Rossis. KUDOS to him because he deserves this award and so much more.
WHAT?! You haven’t read Runaway Smile yet? What are you waiting for??

Lol – thank you so much! Until I get said island, consider yourselves invited to the boat I’ve bought with the proceeds from my books. I keep it in a drawer in the bathroom so I can play with it in the tub 😀
